Roasted Almonds (Printable)

Crispy, aromatic roasted almonds ready in 20 minutes. Perfect for snacking or entertaining.

# What You'll Need:

→ Nuts

01 - 1 1/2 cups raw whole almonds

→ Spices & Seasonings

02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika or ground cayenne

# Method:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a bowl, toss the almonds with olive oil, salt, and desired spices until well coated.
03 - Spread the almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until lightly golden and fragrant.
05 - Remove from the oven and let cool completely. The almonds will continue to crisp as they cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The house smells absolutely incredible while these roast, like a cozy bakery in your own kitchen
  • They stay perfectly crunchy for weeks making them excellent for last minute guests or quiet snacking
02 -
  • The almonds might feel slightly soft when you first take them out but they will crisp up beautifully as they cool so resist sampling too early
  • Set a timer and check after 10 minutes because once they start burning they go from perfect to ruined incredibly fast
03 -
  • Buy raw almonds in bulk from the baking aisle rather than the nut aisle to save significantly on cost
  • Let the roasted almonds cool completely on the baking sheet rather than transferring them to avoid trapping steam
